Newcomer Owen Cooper is on the road to stardom after playing Jamie Miller in Netflix's Adolescence miniseries. "Everyone's been saying such nice things," Cooper shared during a March 2025 interview with Variety following the show's premiere. "My agent has seen it and she said it was really good. I don't know what it is, but I don't really watch it like I'm watching a normal show. I just watch it because I'm in it." The seemingly modest young star said he has "heard positive things" from the series, which is getting him early Emmy Awards buzz.
